Othermill In Uganda

We’re very pleased to have Othermills all over the world, and when they are used for positive change, education and fun we’re really thrilled.

Fundi Bots is a Ugandan team of technology educators who are compiling a useful array of tools and equipment for change and improvement in their communities and beyond. In their own words:

“We’re using robotics training in African schools to raise a new generation of problem solvers, innovators and change-makers.

We focus on the technological process of building robots as a way for students to look at the world around them from a practical, solution oriented perspective. By guiding students through problem identification, brainstorming, collaboration, construction, programming, final deployment and system feedback, we show them how the problems around them can be solved through a technological approach and persistent reductive analysis.

We want to change the status-quo of education, facilitate technical innovation and provide better career and development opportunities for African children. Our activities provide hands-on, practical STEM education and access to resources that will shape their future and the world around them.”
